Other ‘Projects’
I discovered that the marginal cost of an additional section of my website is actually very low (Econ 101 baby)
In this section, I will leave a somewhat up-to-date list of my climbing projects. Keep in mind my gym is harder than yours.
Current Projects
Here’s a classic black V4 that I worked on at a great gym in Rockland, MA. I was younger then, a little more confident, and a lot more willing to push myself on hard boulders. This guy’s got all the hallmarks of a classic-Josh-Rosen-send: big moves, power, heel hooks - I could go on forever.
We battled for nearly two weeks. I won, but at what cost?
Here’s another friend of mine. This blue guy was my first V5.
You never forget your first.
Let me call your attention to the crux: a sit-start. Not many climbers know how to handle a sit start. Wasn’t a big deal for me, but probably would’ve stopped you in your tracks. The trick here is to ask yourself, Am I really afraid of falling? Or am I just afraid of getting to the top? Man, that’s powerful stuff.
